Dikili is a commercial harbor across from Lesvos, yet it is a safe place to leave the boat for a visit to Pergamon 28 km away. It can be rather dusty from coal powder, depending on the wind. The people are very friendly.

Personal Notes

We checked out of Turkey one hot Sunday from Dikili. It took us over 4 frustrating hours chasing various officials throughout the town. They did not seem to be familiar with yachts. Better go to Ayvalik if you can. --Istioploos 09:31, 20 June 2008 (MDT)
